Wine Description
The Paradox is not what you might expect from a wine from the northern
Barossa. It’s not the high octane, lots of new oak stereotypical northern
Barossa Shiraz, but rather a softer, more gentle velvet-like and savoury style
of wine

Winemaker's Bio
An avid lover of food, Sam has been an integral part of Yalumba’s exploration into new and emerging food friendly varieties such as Vermentino, Tempranillo, Verdejo and Garganega.
Having grown up in the Barossa, it was inevitable that Sam would become part of the wine industry as soon as school was out. With two vintages under his belt, Sam started at Yalumba in 2001, and has been a passionate contributor to the team ever since.
Out of work you’ll find Sam in the kitchen, pairing pork belly with his own Yalumba Barossa Grenache Shiraz Mataro.
